NATIONAL EDUCATION ASS'N.
Declaration of Principles Adopted at
Meeting at Denver, Col., On
July 8, 1909.
The National Education Associa
tion, holding its Forty-seven.:h Anntal
Convention in Denver, representing
teachers and friends of education in
every state of the Union, made the
following Declaration of Principles
and of Aims:
1. A free democray cannot long
continue without the assistance of a
system of state-supported schools, ad
ministered by the chosen agents of
the people and responsible to th peo
ple for its ideals, its conduct, and its
results. The commanding position of
the American people is largely due
to the general -diffusion of knowledge
and culture by its free schools.
2. Our system of state-supported
schools must include elementary
schools, secondary schools, schools for
the training of teachers, and state
-.niversities. The changed conditions
of the twentieth century also demand
the establishmen.: of free schools
whose purpose shall be the training of
-our youth for commerce and the in
dustries, as well as for the pro
fessions.
3. The purpose of our system of
free common schools must continue
'o be chiefly culture for the individ
ual and the transmission to posterity
of the results of investigations and
deliberations of the past. Our free
sehools must advance along the lines
of -educaitional democarey in the
sense that they must provide equal
educational opportunities for all.
Altho they must gi"e practical prepra
tion not only for the professions, but
also for commercial life, the demands
of any part of the business world that
curses of study' be subordinated to
prticular interests is not in accord
with the proper aims of a national
system .of common schools..
4. A system of common schools
that will mieet the needs of the times
must be democratic in its purpose
and its administration; must recog
nize tihe importan-ee of expert super
vision, of better and more numerous
high schools, of better and more nu
merous high schools for the trainig
of teachers, of a merit system for the
appointment and promotion of teach
ers; and it must exclude fraternities
and secret organizations of every
sort from the social life of the school.
5. %he common schools of our
country must recognize more fully
than ever the necessity of training
our youth for citizenship. The perpe
tuation of democracy depends upon
the existence in the people of thait
habit of will which is justice. 'Liberty
under law is the proccss of attaining
justice which has thus far been most
successful among eivilized men.The
call to citizenship is a call to-the ex
e1ise of liberty under law. a call to
the limitation of liberty ,by law, and
-a call to the pursuit of justice, not
only for one 's self but for others.
6. The Na,tional Education Associ
ation endorses the purpose of the
}Anerican School Peace League. The
Association believes that t:he princi
pes of the League will make for ef
fective citizenship, and urges all
teachers to acquaint themselves with
work of the League and to co-operate
with it.
7. The increased tendency to con
gestion of population in cities makes
necessary greater and more systemat
ie a;:tention to the physical develop
ment of our children. No vigorous
race of people has long maintained a
hiah state of civilization under condi
ti)ns that did not take into consid
eration the physcial as well as the
mental and moral development of its
youth. The Association recommends
that provision be made by the United
States Bureau of Education for effeet
tve promnotionI of physicail edcu a ion
c :i~ Iv - nine~:-1! ral 0, 1

nature of the service rendered.
9. The National Educa-ion Asso
ciation heartily endorses t he use of
sc4hCol buildings and all school equip
ment for community interests and so
eial betterment.
10. The .National Education Associ
ation endorses :the movement to eon
solidate the rural district schools
wherever practicble, and expresses
the hope that his movement will be en
couraged until the children of rural
communities enjoy the benefits of
public education to an extent approx
imating those now supplied to chil
dren of urban communities.
11. The National Education Asso
ciation gives its hearty endorsement
to the work of the National Bureau
of Education, :the Carnegie Founda
tion, the General Education Board,
and all associations, institutions, and
organizations that are working to de
velop and promote the educational in
terests of the country.
